1. Dave Revsine, Big Ten Network anchor: You can tell a lot about an ESPN staffer by his or her Wikipedia page. A not-so-perfect rule of thumb: The shorter the entry, the less annoying the personality. Cut in the mold of All-Substance first teamers Brian Kenny and Dan Shulman, Revsine went about his work during his decade at the network with a quiet professionalism. Plug him into any role -- ESPN News, SportsCenter, ESPN Radio's College Game Day -- and viewers were always steered in a smart direction. This fall he becomes the face of the fledgling Big Ten Network, where he will anchor the nightly studio show and do play by play. "While it's tough to leave ESPN, this is the perfect job for me," said Revsine, a Midwesterner whose Big Ten roots include a degree from Northwestern and a sports anchor stint in the Quad Cities. The network debuts at the end of August and will air between 350 and 400 live events.

2. Curt Schilling, blogger: Part of the fun of reading Schilling's 38 pitches blog is to see what media member will be torched next. You can't argue with the frequency of Schilling's musings. He blogs after every start and allows visitors to brush him back verbally. After writing about his ugly six inning performance in an 8-3 loss to the Yankees, the first poster greeted No. 38 with this fastball: "Way to be older and crappier then Mussina was last night." Look for a wave of athlete blogs in the next year. And more headaches for team officials when they write something stupid.

3. Keyshawn Johnson, ESPN analyst: Mr. Just Throw Me The Damn Mic landed a Disney gig that could take him across the multi-media dial. For starters, he'll do Sunday NFL Countdown, Monday Night Countdown, and what promises to be an amusing ESPN Radio show every Friday night with Bill Parcells. While he has few equals when it comes to braggadocio and moxie, unlike my Keyshawn-loving colleague Bill Syken, I'm not ready to anoint him Charles Barkley status yet. Keyshawn has been very good when the subject has been Keyshawn. We'll see how good he is away from that topic. Still, Johnson for Michael Irvin is Lou Brock for Ernie Broglio.

4. Bob Ryan, blogger: A word of advice for the longtime Boston Globe columnist-turned-new media player: Shorter entries, my man. A blog post should not be longer than Roots. Of course, we like that Ryan dropped a 'Holy Bleep' on Day Two of his brave new gig.

5. Curt Smith, author: Noted author Smith has chronicled broadcasters (he's the author of the acclaimed Voices of the Game) with the same manner Homer chronicled Odysseus. His latest book (on the legendary Mel Allen (The Voice: Mel Allen's Untold Story) and his firing from NBC and the Yankees is terrific.
